TORONTO - So-called conversion therapy that attempts to alter someone's sexual orientation or gender identity is "dangerous" and should not be practised in Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne said Thursday.

"There is no place in Ontario for conversion therapy, which is based on the premise that being gay or transgendered is wrong and needs to be corrected," she said. "The use of conversion therapy to dissuade a person from self-identifying results in neither outcome and should not be tolerated."
